Together with the medieval towers, they are quite a spectacular view as Rothenburg ob der Tauber is surrounded by a town wall, 6 medieval gates, and 42 towers. Therefore, the Tower Trail is the best way to explore them all. It was built in the XIV century but it was partially destroyed during WWII. Fortunately, it was restored thanks to the contribution of thousands of donors from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">What makes these medieval city walls so special is that they are 2.5 kilometers long and they are the only ones left intact in Germany. Even though it\u2019s quite a long trail and you should devote two to three hours to the walk, but the views from the top are absolutely rewarding. Also, there are stairs to help you get up or down next to almost any tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Tower Trail follows the perimeter of Rothenburg\u2019s city wall. You\u2019ll see information boards to tell you the history, significance, and features of a portion of the wall. The most interesting highlights along the way are: Klingentor (Klingen Gate), Rodentor (Roder Gate), Rossmuhle (Old Horse Mill), Galgentor (Gallows Gate), Burgtor (Castle Gate), Spitaltor (Hospital Tower and Gate Bastion) and Gerlachschmiede (Blacksmith\u2019s Shop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Walking along the medieval walls is an invitation to a trip back in time. So, it\u2019s one of the must-dos while in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Although it\u2019s fairly safe for families, it\u2019s advisable to watch children carefully. Moreover, there is a side railing to protect from falls and plenty of openings for smaller children to peer out. However, the walking path is narrow and it may require squeezing by other visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_the_Medieval_Gates_and_Towers\"><\/span>Explore the Medieval Gates and Towers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-gf709ef7e8_1920.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-gf709ef7e8_1920.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-gf709ef7e8_1920-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-gf709ef7e8_1920-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>As we\u2019ve already said, Rothenburg is home to many towers that date from medieval times. Here we\u2019ll mention the most remarkable ones:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Klingentor\"><\/span>Klingentor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Built between 1395 and 1403, it\u2019s one of the most intriguing towers from an architectural point of view. The gate forms an entrance to the town walls and the foot of St Wolfgang\u2019s church. It is said that it was possible to climb the tower from inside the church. Thus allowing defenders to fire on the attackers who had already made it as far as the ramparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It\u2019s not only a water towel but the copper tank inside it fed the town\u2019s fountains when it was not in use. Moreover, you can climb to the top for a small fee and from there you can see across the town and the Tauber Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spitaltor\"><\/span>Spitaltor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Spitaltor is also known as the Hospital Gate. It features an XVI century bastion with inner courtyards and its own gates. There\u2019s a Latin inscription on the gate that reads \u201cPax intrantibus, salus exeuntibus\u201d which means \u201cPeace to those who enter, Hail to those who go out\u201d. Spitaltor is a great starting point for your exploration of the Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Spitaltor is unique due to its eight-figure. It has a cannon gallery. If you explore the bastion you\u2019ll be able to appreciate medieval warfare. It\u2019s the southernmost tip of Rothenburg\u2019s fortifications. Near the Spital Quarters, there are three remarkable buildings that are worth visiting: Heregeiter House (the kitchen of the infirmary hospital; St\u00f6berleinsturm, and St\u00f6berlein\u2019s State (an open mini-amphitheater facing the covered stair walkway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rodertor\"><\/span>Rodertor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Rodertor was one of the old access roads into the city and seems to have been taken out directly from a fairy tale. They are actually tow gates: one was for horses and wagons and the other for pedestrian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Rodertor is one of the five gates into the preserved medieval walled town and it\u2019s the closest to the train station. After driving through the Rodertor you\u2019ll enter the old city. However, there are stairs from which you can access the walkway of the town walls. This is the only tower along the wall that you can climb to the top and it houses a special exhibit about the tower to go along with the views. There are small windows on three sides of the tower that look out over the fairytale streets and the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Burgtor\"><\/span>Burgtor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Burgtor or Castle Gate was built after the Castle of Rothenburg. It was destroyed in an earthquake in 1356. There are two round buildings at the entrance: one was the former guardhouse and the other was the customs house where foreigners had to pay a toll. The middle gate of the Burgtor bastion has a mask with a hole at the mouth which was used by the defenders to pour hot pitch on the heads of their enemies during attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Burgtor is the westernmost gate and it has the highest gate tower among the city\u2019s fortification system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_Rothernburgs_Castle_Garden\"><\/span>Visit Rothernburg\u2019s Castle Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/couple-g188079392_1920.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/couple-g188079392_1920.jpg?resize=1024%2C673&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/couple-g188079392_1920-980x644.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/couple-g188079392_1920-480x315.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/2020\/05\/visit-kazbegi-georgia.html\">WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MISS VISITING KAZBEGI IN GEORGIA : FIND THE REASONS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Where there once stood a castle in Rothenburg ob der Tauber there\u2019s now a beautiful garden.  This is one of the most wonderful green spaces in town. Especially,  at sunset, it\u2019s a great place to relax, have a picnic and enjoy the lovely views of the Bavarian countryside. The garden boasts of geometrically designed flower beds depicting the XVIII and XIX century styles. Moreover, there are also eight sandstone figures that are set up to represent the four seasons and the four elements. Some of the monuments that can be admired here are the statue of Franz Joseph, the Mozart Statue, the Hercules Fountain, and the House of Butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_the_Marktplatz\"><\/span>Explore the Marktplatz<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g89717e10f_1920.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g89717e10f_1920.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g89717e10f_1920-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g89717e10f_1920-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/2020\/05\/3-days-in-tbilisi-itinerary-georgia.html\">THE ULTIMATE 3 DAYS IN TBILISI ITINERARY FOR YOUR TRIP TO GEORGIA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Marktplatz or Market Square is another must-see place in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It\u2019s surrounded by stunning buildings such as the Rathaus or Town Hall and the Ratstrinkstube or Councilors\u2019 Tavern. It\u2019s also home to the annual Christmas Market. As you admire the Councilors\u2019 Tavern, look up to the clock with the carillon that rings at 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22 hours telling the story of Rothenburg\u2019s salvation during the Thirty Years\u2019 War when the Burgomaster Mayor Nusch was commanded to gulp down seven pints in one by Count Tilly and thus saved the town from total destruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Clock Tower now immortalizes that historic moment with Count Tilly appearing in the left window on the hour and Mayor Nusch in the right window, lifting a tankard to its lips.\u00a0Centrally located in the Old Town, there are many nice patrician houses nearby as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Climb_up_the_Rathaus\"><\/span>Climb up the Rathaus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g644ef6032_1920.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g644ef6032_1920.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g644ef6032_1920-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g644ef6032_1920-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The imposing building of the Rathaus is located at the heart of the Marktplatz and dominates the whole scene. Built-in the XIII century and rebuilt 300 years later after a fire, its Baroque-style arcade towers over the central Marktplatz. It\u2019s perhaps the most notable building in town as it combines Gothic and Renaissance architecture with a quaint, fascinating array of skylight windows and an impressive large stone portico opening onto the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">After exploring it for a bit, climb up the 220 twisting steps to the Town Hall Tower\u2019s observation platform. From there, the panoramic views are truly spectacular and they comprise the town and the countryside as well. However, it\u2019s not for the faint of heart on windy days! The climb itself is quite challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Carefully walk down the steep steps and make your way to Rothenburg Historical Vaults that are located underneath the Town Hall. They bring back the era of the Thirty Years War. Also, the visitors can see 14 impressive vaults, objects, and scenes from the period including execution and torture instruments and prison cells that illustrate the dark side of medieval times. One of the twelve dungeons, the Imperial Dungeon, is considered Rothenburg\u2019s oldest prison and it houses a guardhouse, a torture room, and 3 jail cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_the_Rothenburg_Medieval_Crime_and_Justice_Museum\"><\/span>Visit the Rothenburg Medieval Crime and Justice Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g09c74dc0e_1920.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g09c74dc0e_1920.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g09c74dc0e_1920-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/rothenburg-of-the-deaf-g09c74dc0e_1920-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kriminalmuseum.eu\/en\/\">Rothenburg Medieval Crime and Justice Museum<\/a> is the largest museum of legal rights in Europe and it has a unique focus on medieval criminal justice. <\/strong>In its expansive 3000 sqm exhibition space, it shows the legal development from the late Middle Ages to the XIX century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Here you\u2019ll see ancient instruments of torture, weapons and learn about some of the stranger laws that ruled the people of Rothenburg back in the day. Quirky, strange, and terrifying at times, is a must-do in Rothenburg. The whole lower level and a large part of the 2nd-floor area were devoted to implements that would turn stomachs. Also, it has the best display of criminal punishment devices in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Displays include an array of chastity belts, masks of disgrace for gossips, a cage for cheating bakers, a neck brace for quarrelsome women, and a beer-barrel pen for drunks. You can also find objects used to penalize anyone caught using witchcraft and sorcery. Probably, the most striking artifacts you\u2019ll see are the Iron Maiden, the shame masks, and the Spiky Chair\u2026. Items straight out of a horror movie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An entire selection is dedicated to the treatment of women and to the terrible witch-hunt that took place in the region in the XVII century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_St_Jacobs_Church\"><\/span>Visit St Jacob\u2019s Church<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/St._Jakob_Kirche_Rothenburg_2014-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/St._Jakob_Kirche_Rothenburg_2014.jpg?resize=1024%2C717&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/St._Jakob_Kirche_Rothenburg_2014-980x686.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/St._Jakob_Kirche_Rothenburg_2014-480x336.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">St Jacob\u2019s Church, erected between 1311 and 1484 is only a short walk from the Marktplatz. It\u2019s an impressive building and the inside of the church offers an interesting assortment of religious art. Stained glass windows tell the story of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. With its stunning Gothic arches, towering spires, and imposing lancet windows, the church is an essential stop. Consecrated in 1484, it\u2019s situated along with the Ways of St James to Santiago de Compostela and pilgrims arrive here each year as part of their pilgrimage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">St Jacob\u2019s Church is the town\u2019s spiritual home especially since it embraced Martin Luther\u2019s Reformation and it became \u201cthe people\u2019s church\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your time to admire the inside of St Jacob\u2019s.
